Getting CHL

the judge is exactly what it advertises as a gun for the car for close quarters and nothing more

Concerning the low velocity, I'll just repeat my question: "If I shot you with a 410 round out of a Judge, do you think you'd be able to still come at me?"

As for carrying it, the 2" model is more than small enough to be concealed, especially considering the OP is a larger guy.

I'm only recommending this for quick pull self-defense: shoot and run. We want to talk handguns for assault however, then that's a totally different subject.

The tiny barrel on the judge doesn't give the powder load a chance to completely burn, reducing the velocity significantly. Also the spread will be ridiculously wide. You won't be able to hit me with a .45 round :)

Can't see the vid, but I'm assuming it's the pumpkin head video. Looks cool, but not impressed.

Where you gonna carry that thing? Your backpack???

[myjohnson]

He is like 5 feet from the target.

Stupid gun that can't be carried.

Why can't it be carried?

The shotgun shells will just piss someone off and the .45's can't hit the broad side of a barn. Don't waste your money on a Taurus anyways.

You saying that if I shot you with it you think you'd be able to keep coming at me? This is a thread about self-defense, and not assault, right?

Someone post some pics of their CCWs.

Get it started by showing some picks of that EMP.

I'll back it up with pics of my M&P 9C.

What do you like for self defense ammo?

[aggrofishkeeper]

This is a seriously nice gun. Very hard to find in 9mm.

I'm thinking about a Bersa .380CC for pocket carry. Solid steel gun and 1/2 the price of all other.380's.

Yup! I love it!

When I bought mines at the time it was the only one in 9mm in Houston.

And Speer Gold Dot FTMFW! Hydroshock is over hyped.

How has a thread about concealed handguns gone four pages without talking about the JUDGE?

I carry a Springfield Armory EMP 9mm.

[aggrofishkeeper]

dont carry a gun

So what do you do when your family is in danger at home when robbers break in? Scream for Obama?

[Tiapan]

but i dont think you coould shoot that little guy D

[Tiapan]

PS: i dont have my carry license yet but i will say my 1911 is a little large for me to carry. i may end up with a 9mm or my .380. but also looking for a snubbie, and i have several smaller pistols that would also likely be on me. id feel just fine with my .32 on me with how it shoots for me.

[Tiapan]

lol geeze i sometimes feel that carry options are like politics, everyone has an opinion and they dont always add up together. im gonna say try several different guns (not just how they feel but how they shoot for you)) i recommend getting one in a calibre that you will shoot often so you get better with it. 9s are easier to find ammo and a lot cheaper to shoot but not a lot less then 40 or even 45 if your buying ammo at walmart. Also the other very very important factor is to have the gun on you. if its too heavy or uncomfortable you wont carry it. And as a side note lots and lots of people carry 45s around just fine. but maybe in compact frame. anyway i say go rent a couple at a range and try them out until you find one that not only fits your hand but you like how it shoots for you. (i have shot my 1911, and my friends xd9, both shoot real well, but i like my 45 better(read that as i LOVE my 1911), but his shoots real well, just dont like how it fits MY hand) soooo many options, never the opportunity to use them (hopefully)
